Brief Description: Worked getting right wing ready for the bottom ski
|
|
Have done almost nothing for a month on the project, been slammed to the wall with work. Got a little breathing room now, so after doing a few bits and pieces of work over the last few days, clecoing and drilling the aileron gap seal and the flap brace, etc., I had time to do some work today. First thing I did was to reverse the wings in the stand so I could get to the interior of the right wing. The noses don't fit in the cutout, but I propped the leading edge up a few inches with some styrofoam blocking, and it works OK. Then primed the gap seal and flap brace, clecoed them in place, and riveted the gap seal in place to the spar and top skin. The flap brace to spar rivets will have to be driven, and it's too late to do that tonight, I would have two sleepy and irate ladies to deal with (two because Joyce's mother is staying with us indefinitely, as of last week).
I also removed the roll servo from the right wing bellcrank mount, since it would interfere with trying to buck the bottom skin rivets later. I left the bellcrank in place, since the top bolts would be a bear to get to through the access hole in the bottom skin later.

Wings reversed in the stand. Maybe I will reverse them again after finishing the right one.

Right aileron gap seal, all riveted in place.

The roll servo removed temporarily from the mount until after the bottom skin is riveted.
